The classroom held all the moroseness of a funeral parlor. Just 16 hours had passed since Donald Trump had won the presidency, and in this "Faith and Politics" class at Emory University, graduate students talked of being shocked and wounded, fearful and horrified. From shaky voices, there was conviction that bigotry had prevailed, and from eyes, tears fell. But from the syllabus came a stern reminder: They needed to find a way to fix this.

Not even close.
This is the 2nd Emory University snowflake piece I’ve seen. They are raising a bunch of losers there. Parents are being ripped off.
I thought Trump’s talk about “winning” was cliche but I really believe it now.
I went there for a semester in 1986. Maybe the students back then were made of sterner stuff.
One and only one person with enough sense to ask, “Healing from what?” These people are hopeless.
This is an unprecedented tragedy.
At no time in history have young adults been so coddled to the point of imbecility.
These young men and women are not prepared for life and its challenges. They are not prepared to face any circumstance that takes away life, liberty, goods, health, livelihoods, broken marriages, broken spirits.
How will they face a lifetime of uncertainty?
How will they face a future that could very well mean the end of our society?
Brokenness? Because the narrative doesn’t fit your truly limited expectations?
They don’t understand politics and they have no faith. They fail the class. Where is the news in this?
A moron teaching a class of morons.
Healing? Easy, in theory...
Start castigating anyone and everyone who lives and dies in their interpersonal relationships by political mien.
Shame anyone who cannot accept alternate viewpoints being held, much less expressed.
And the first person to brush up against Godwin’s Laws gets an impromptu ice bucket challenge.
Then escalate from there.
How is this a news article? It is just about immature kids acting immature. Nothing news worthy about that!
“The conviction that bigotry had prevailed....”
Such a conviction could only have been reached because the media hammered a message, a false message, about Trump.
I bypassed the media and went straight to RSBN. I listened to Trump myself and evaluated him myself. I found no bigotry or hatred in his words or heart.
What damage the media has done to the citizens of this country.
These young adults are LIED to, systematically, by both the media and the education system.
Stripped of the ability to think critically, they completely lack the skills to maneuver in a complex world.
Dumbing down, achieved!!
The collectivist prof and his collectivist students want to find a way to "fix" freedom, which is, of course, messy.
Non-hive thinking is a malady to them; it must be cured.
They're profoundly ignorant and gullible and lack even a molecule of intellectual curiosity. They've been schooled since the beginning to turn out just this way.
Just what people in distress don’t need…spiritual advisors who have no faith that God is in control of this world and has declared victory over Satan. Christians know, as St. Paul did, that “the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that will be revealed to us.” (Romans 8:18) The promises of God found in the Holy Bible give the followers of Jesus hope and courage to face life’s struggles.
Yeah most likely.
Yes!
I am at about 125% on my “Schadenfreude meter!”
‘from eyes, tears fell.’
I can’t believe this.
Uh, civil, huh. That must have been the War in Selma where Obama was but a twinkle in his Kenyan father's eye.
These parents get what they deserve for raising such imbeciles.
